You need to configure following files for IPv6 configuration:
— /etc/sysconfig/network : Turn on networking in this file.
— /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 : Set default IPv6 router IP and server IP address in this file.
Open /etc/sysconfig/network file:
[root@austin log]# nano /etc/sysconfig/network
Add to the following line:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
Open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (1st network config file)
[root@austin log]# nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# ============================================================= # Network Interface Script generated by BareMetal # ============================================================= DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=STATIC ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=216.55.162.31 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 HWADDR=6C:62:6D:47:A4:C3 IPV6INIT=yes IPV6ADDR=3607:f0d0:1102:0011:0000:0001:0000:0002 IPV6_DEFAULTGW=5607:f0d0:1002:0011:0000:0000:0000:0002
Save and close the file. Restart networking:
[root@austin log]# service network restart
Verify your configuration by pinging ipv6 enabled site such as ipv6.google.com:
[root@austin log]# ping6 ipv6.google.com
[/bash]
